Came across this advert while looking for clues to my Indicator problem:

http://www.pocket-motors.co.uk/

I think they have expanded from an Ebay shop - look pretty good value. Sound genuine, family concern. See what you think!

Looks interesting if you're in that area.... but I wish they'd get someone to check the website over for spelling, grammar and punctuation.

I know people will say it doesn't matter, as long as they can do the work properly.

Believe me, it does matter. This is their interface with the public, and non-sense and spelling mistakes put people off.

Oh, and under The Exchange - For Sale; in the description you appear to have omitted the letter 'l' from the word 'yourself' :silly:

One spelling mistake.
Three initial letters not capitalised.
One initial letter capitalised after a comma.
One missing question mark.

No, no angel, and very self-critical.

I realised that I'd used a mixture of numerals and letters to enumerate your errors. Shock, horror! :lol:

I know being a member of the grammar police can irritate people but I can't help myself. (OCD)
